@sonnyred5050

ur right. dont u find funny when they made RICO law they mostly only used it on the italians not the crips or bloods but the crips or bloods dont do organized crime like racketerring or loansharking like the mob but now i think they are starting to use it against the ms13 which is kinda organized. and when the mafia were in their glory days they were more powerful than the goverment and pretty much did anything the wanted up to a certain point. no other group will get that chance

[sonnyred5050]

@Italianboy881 Its cuz there is more Glory and Fame for the FBI when they take down an infamous Mafia family.....rather than some Crips or Bloods.

Also, they are Jealous of Italians and there ability to corrupt and minupulate there Own police forces, and be Larger than the Law!..and there Righteousness!..Italians are one of the few groups in America who stood up to them and didnt tremble or bow down.

The government and feds and judicial system are a bunch of old cock sucking faggots! nuff sad

@Italianboy881

How is the Mafia's power today?

This DA in this clip who says: "Those who choose to associate with organized crime....e.t.c. it's only a matter of time before they are incacerated"

An individual could have no part in organized crime earnings or the illegal dealings of the business....but if they are cauught "associating" with MOB members, for instance at a veterans club or coffee place....they will be held liable for "associating". The FEDS can lock anyone up for life..RICO!
